Restaurant with healthy and tasty vegetarian options just near to the workplace is true happiness. From the options I choose for the meal : Soya chunks were very good mixed with pineapple and peppers. Curry potato was spicy and good in taste.

Greendot is an up-and-coming vegan/vegetarian eatery in Jurong East. Housed on the second level of JEM shopping centre, the eatery features a simple functional interior where diners will order their food from a canteen-style counter on the left of the eatery.

Veganism/Vegetarianism is a worldwide trend and vegetarian eateries in Singapore are confined to the casual hawkers serving economic rice/noodles. Vegetarian food at Greendot is exceptional, if not one of the best I’ve tried at the price point.

I am morphing into a devout vegetarian and it takes me a while to persuade my carnivorous mates to join me for a vegetarian meal. We ordered a bowl of laksa, their signature bento and a dish of soya nuggets.

Their laksa is outrageously delicious. Smooth, milky and rich in spices, the broth is simply tasty and you can add their some vegetarian sambal (I wonder how they did that!!) to the broth to increase the level of spice. Without the aroma of dried shrimps, it is amazing the laksa retains that high level of fragrance and exudes a bouquet of flavours in our palate. The “prawns” and “chicken” in the laksa, made of beancurd skin and mushrooms, are crunchy and palatable too!

The signature bento is delicious too. We ordered “beauty” rice with a couple of other dishes including rendang and shiitake mushrooms. The rendang chicken, like the curry, was full of zest and surprises. Using the smashed thick stalk of the mushroom as chicken, the “chicken” was richly marinated in the rendang.
